The Ondo State Governor, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu, has declared that the proposed health insurance scheme for the civil servants in the state would soon commence.

The governor said all the arrangements to start the scheme had been concluded.



Akeredolu stated this at the inauguration of the second phase of the multimillion-naira medical gadgets for the state Primary Healthcare System, in Akure, the state capital, on Friday.

He said, “The health insurance scheme will kick off very soon, all arrangements have been concluded. The office is ready and it is going to start very soon.”

The governor reiterated that his administration was committed to reshaping the state health sector, particularly the primary health care being one of the cardinal programmes of his administration.

According to him, the primary health care system, which was hitherto viewed as unfit for patronage by many for lack of modern tools and equipment, was wearing a new look due to the modest effort of the administration to improve the sector.

“Today’s (Friday) event marks the second phase. By the grace of God, more phases are in the pipeline, until the primary health care system of Ondo State becomes a reference point in qualitative maternal, neonatal and child health services in Nigeria,” Akeredolu stressed.

In his remarks, the Executive Secretary, the state Primary Healthcare Board, Mr Francis Akanbiemu, said the government was committed to improving the health care system of the state, focusing more on pregnant women and children under five years of age.

“All the medical gadgets we inaugurated today (Friday) are to address all the components of the primary health care in the state. All the equipment are solely procured by the state government.”
